The EffizienzCluster -The World from a Logistics Point of View

Tomorrow’s logistics should both protect the environment and guarantee supply. It is a requirement and target for

the EfzienzCluster LogistikRuhr and all projects to facilitate tomorrow’s individuality – in terms of the individual

supply of goods, mobility and production – with just 75 per cent of today’s resources. The efciency of processes

and products is the key focus.

Mastering Tomorrow´s Challenges

Logistics is taking on responsibility for the challenges of the future: Science and business develop products, approaches and innovations in order to prepare society to changing conditions and, at the same time, to enable

society to maintain its lifestyles. Substantially, the work of the EfzienzCluster is determined by three parameters:

• To protect the environment and resources. The limitation of resources and the hazards for ecological systems

have caused a change of thinking in business and society. Within the EfzienzCluster logistics solutions and

procedures are tested for increased efciency with which the market participants can also expect to achieve a

competitive advantage.

• To guarantee the supply of urban systems. The trend towards urbanization is increasing, also as a result of

demographic change. More and more goods have to nd their way into conurbations and city centers using

infrastructures which are already stretched to the limit. The EfzienzCluster develops solutions for the exible

and resource-efcient supply of both consumers and companies within urban systems.

• To maintain society´s individuality. The diversied consumption and leisure behavior of individuals and globa-

lization with its almost unlimited transportation of goods across borders, have led to increasing complexity

for the value-adding network. The EfzienzCluster helps the market participants to fulll consumers’ require-

ments.

In total, in the EfzienzCluster’s joint projects 100 innovations, products and patents are being developed that

the research partners or other interested companies will be bringing onto the market, making logistics even more

competitive overall. In comparison to other industries, these innovations will cause above-average growth for the

stakeholders in the cluster and, subsequently, for the entire German logistics industry.

Seven key topics serve as so-called innovation corridors

Seven key topics describe the central innovation corridors within EfzienzCluster LogistikRuhr: Within these key

topics innovations are created that will signicantly change the face of logistics in the sense of taking on new res-

ponsibility for society. The objective is for logistics to become the determining element in value adding networks.

Various research programs are dedicated to each key topic. These include more than 40 national and internati-

onal projects. Developers of key topics, working in an honorary capacity, strengthen the contents of their topics

at the scientic level and connect the projects with each other. At the same time they provide for the transfer of

knowledge to other key topics and give substantial impetus for the further development of the entire cluster. As

qualied experts in their disciplines they also represent their key topic in professional circles and to the public in

general and initiate new discussions. Their contact details can be found within this brochure.

Key topic: Changeable Logistics Systems

Logistics service providers and commercial enterpri-

ses must constantly and proactively align their value

adding systems to constantly changing requirements.

Changeable logistics systems create the exibility that

is needed here.

Key topic: Logistics-as-a-Service

Many planning and control processes are usually

handled without undue administrative red tape rather

than being pursued with IT support. This is because

conventional software is too ponderous, too complex

and not transparent enough. However, tailor-made IT

can essentially help logistics to produce efciency.

Key topic: Urban Supply

In 2017, more than half of the world’s population will

live in urban areas. Yet, in the existing system the sus-

tainable supply of goods and products to consumers is

not guaranteed. There is demand for efcient, environ-

mentally-friendly and resource-saving, individual andmodular logistics solutions, particularly for urban areas.

Key topic: Goods Transport Management

For many years the demand for goods transportation

has been increasing. Transport volumes exceed the

capacity of the present trafc infrastructures. With an

intelligent goods trafc management system, however,

logistics can make an essential contribution to a sustai-

nable improvement of the overall trafc situation.

Key topic: Environment in Focus

Logistics currently causes more than 14 per cent of all

carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Today, however,

it is on the threshold of a green revolution: Innovative

sustainable technologies, logistics systems and sustai-

nable procurement contribute decisively to maintaining

the competitiveness of companies.

Key topic: Logistics Design Competence

The economic, ecological and social challenges we

have to face today mean logistics has to undergo a

reorientation. In order for logistics to be in a position

to play its part in solving these contemporary problems

and push forward the processes of change, it has to

build up logistic design competence: restructuring

logistics goes hand in hand with education in logistics.

Key topic: Activation of Cluster Potentials

The formation of clusters is an important tool for

actively supporting innovation. Yet, the development

of innovations is not guaranteed, not even in a cluster.In fact it requires strategic and tactical management to

fully exploit the potential of a cluster and to reveal the

advantages of its specic success factors.

Prole The DST was founded in 1954 initially for the sole purpose of acting as a towing tank and has since

developed into a broad-based development centre for inland and coastal navigation. The DST’s main focus is the

development and implementation of market orientated transport concepts for inland and coastal shipping

offering its services to industry and governments. The DST is associated to the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Research & Practice The DST’s consulting services primarily focus on the efciency and the cost advantages

associated with waterborne transportation. Next to optimizing vessels and the waterway infrastructure,

efcient transshipment interfaces are required. The entire transport chain needs to be taken into consideration

when assessing competitiveness, i.e. the various modes of transport, transshipment procedures and (interim)

storage requirements.

Various questions concerning the development potential of inland navigation as part of multimodal transport

concepts were dealt with in a series of DST projects. In addition to basic studies on development trends in

container transport (containers/ swap bodies), these projects for example also investigated concepts for using

oversized vessels on the Rhine or for using smaller, but faster vessels to navigate tributaries and canals. Other

research projects with funding from local and national governments as well as the European Union analysed

topics like economic efciency, environmental protection, safety aspects and eet modernization. Furthermore,

the DST employs a shallow water navigation simulator ‘SANDRA’, which enables basic and advanced training of

on-board staff and contributes to the development of new research perspectives and activities since 2008.

Alfred-Herrhausen-Straße 50 • 58448 Witten • Germany

Prole/Research & practice The ZNU - Center for Sustainable Leadership is an applied research institute and is part

of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Witten/Herdecke.

As a sustainability initiative of industry and science, we work in the elds of research, teaching, and training and

conduct conferences, striving to make sustainability tangible. Our vision is to inspire today’s and tomorrow’s

leaders with the opportunities of sustainable business management.

In order to lead organizations the way through the jungle of sustainability, the ZNU was founded as a cooperati-

on between science and industry. Together with our partners we aim to make the issue(s) of sustainability to be

within reach, feasible and credibly communicated – as well as applicable and relevant for the entire food industry.

Our approach is not only scientically grounded, but also successfully implemented in practice and provides thefollowing relevant starting points:

• to raise awareness of current and future business leaders for the opportunities and risks of sustainability

within the food sector and to enable them to implement sustainability individually and successfully

• to lead an informed dialogue with the (relevant) stakeholders and therewith ensure the credibility of the

implemented sustainability activities

• to offer particularly to manufacturers and retailers a platform for cooperative (pilot) projects - as a

“protected“ area for creativity on neutral ground

As an academic center, it is our goal to

• be up-to-date with regard to the sustainability research for the food industry

• to bundle existing and most recent scientic ndings for corporate practice

• conduct research projects to take part in the scientic foundation of the debate
